    So...yeah ;) I am taking the plunge, going into debt, and buying a TM TS-PC wheel and a Fanatec Clubsport base+whatever wheel I can find cheap for testing. My question to you Fanatec Clubsport v2.5 wheelbase is...

    What exactly is better about the v2.5 over the v2?

    Various reviewers online have stated everything from motor tweaks to firmware changes to the "DRi" mode in the tuning menu...but is the v2.5 really a step up in FFB quality from the already smooth and reliable v2 base?

    There are several interesting options to get into a Direct-drive system for just a bit more money. If you are not open to a DIY project, then consider waiting until Fanatec releases their DD base.

    If you are asking because you want to buy a new V2 or 2.5 then it's OBE. I believe that Fanatec stated that orders for the V2 would be fulfilled with the 2.5. If you use the comparison option on the website the sampling rate of the v2.5 seems to be double of the v2. The inside sim racing TMTSPC review said that the v2 was the best when compared to TMTSPC and Fanatec Elite.

    The 2.5 is significantly cheaper and better in just about any way. So there is no discussion, if you want a CSW, go for the v2.5. ;)

    However: if you are going to buy a Thrustmaster anyway, my suggestion would be to only buy that for the moment (unless you need a second wheel) and wait a bit more.
    Fanatec will most likely bring out a direct drive wheel this year (speculations which are supported by statements of Fanatecs CEO).
    Surely the v2.5 price adaption (v2 was 750€, v2.5 is 550€) is linked to that.

    Of course I don't know how the pricing of the Fanatec DD will be and if it will be worth it, but if you can wait, I as a DD user can only suggest to wait and see.

    Hi Kofots! Good to see you again! I saw that review a few days ago...Shaun is the best. But he kind of didn't say in specific terms what is really better about the 2.5 base. I mean, he's a sponsor so he's got to be careful what he says about gear...plus, as a public reviewer, he's kind of got to gush on Fanatec gear anyway, and these reasons cut down on the critical aspect of his review. That's why I wanted to know what the community here thought...get the unscripted take on things :)

    I don't want or need a direct drive wheel, but I appreciate the info. As for the v2.5, a higher sampling rate and improved DRi coding is...not worth the wait or money for me, if that's all they improved about the wheel. And isn't the 550 just an introductory price for the v2.5, just like they did for the v2 a few years ago?

    the biggest thing they did is to make the motor run with less dampening (more low level details and marginally faster rotation), the 1000hz tick means nothing when the games send 360hz (AMS), 333hz (AC) or even 60-144hz monitor refresh rate(IRaping) to the wheel lol, v2 500hz was plenty, all the rest is marketing BS afaik, motor runs exactly same Nm as v2.

    After watching a recent Shaun's review of some very dubious Fanatec brake pedal mod I wouldn't put a lot of trust in any of his reviews anymore. I'm not saying that he's being paid for those praising reviews, but I've got some serious concerns about his qualification as a hardware reviewer.

    i have to agree. When he said that in AC highlands track cobblestones and tarmac ffb differences, implying that only v2.5 would show them or show them better than v2.. even with g27 that surface differences was crystal clear to feel in the wheel and probably more accentuated and stronger cobblestone efx than my csw v2 hehehehe. (slip road and kerbs all at zero with both wheels)

    TDS...nicely put. In fact, I just purchased a mint v2 base from a friend based on what you said. I prefer some dampening to the rim, actually, and do not want the least mechanical resistance in the base as per my driving style.

    Would that be that review of the mod that raises the pedal resolution rate? Honestly that video creeped me out.

    Thanks, you too!

    Have you tried to join the Fanatec forums and see if someone have changed from a v2 to a v2.5? I dont know how the enviroment is, maybe alot of fanboys so you wont get to know anything anyway, but its worth a try if you havent already.

    you can still control the "dampening", (speed of the wheel is more accurate statetment) ammount by changing dri setting. 001 to 002 feels great all around(race/drift) i personally use 001.
    at 003 or more feels too alien fast to me. With dri off feels to dampened/numb to me.
    Dri setting also changes linearity A LOT!
    these are my settings:

    Not sure. I know that at the beginning the v2 did cost around that but was reserved to be bought by previous customers (I had a code as well but wasn't interested back then).

    Anyway, for 550, I think the v2.5 is a no-brainer, if you can invest that sort of money.
    It's superior to the v2 and there is no consumer wheel that can compete with it. Everything above is non-standard and expensive DD drive.
